It can't be shared with other people or spent on gifts, not even within a Family Sharing group. As the family organizer, you'll need to have a different payment method on file; if you encounter an issue with that, describe it in this thread.


If you purchase applications on your own account, they'll be shared unless otherwise noted in their description.
